THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. . January l.S 
There was a yourg man In St. Croix, 
Whose face was expressive of jolx. 
His friends he would greet 
With an offer to treat, 
Sayirg. “Have one on me—it’s a bolx.” 
—Indianapolis Journal. 
“ Woodman, spare that tree 1 
Touch not a single bough ! ’ 
Was written of an oak, 
But-it’s a chestnut, now. — Li.fe. 
Maude : Ourcrg’agemen*,isasecret.” 
Lena : ” So everybody tells me.”— Brook¬ 
lyn Life- 
When a burfiflar asks the conundrum : 
" Where’s your money ? ” it is generally 
the wisest plan to give it up.— Life 
Mother: “How did this ink get all 
over this table?” Small Son: “It run 
right out all by its own self, quick as the 
bottle upset.”— Qood News. 
Mrs. Cu.mso (holding up the article 
admiringly) : ‘‘Isn’t it a duck of a bon¬ 
net?” ‘‘It’s more like a pelican of a 
bonnet.” ‘‘What do you mean, dear !’’ 
‘‘The bill is too big for a duck.”— Truth. 
He : “I see that old Mr. Bentley was 
buried yesterday.” Wife (shocked) : 
‘‘ Why, is old Mr. Bentley dead ? ” ‘‘ He 
(who has just been ‘‘ sat upon ”) : ‘‘ The 
paper doesn’t say whether be is dead or 
not; simply that he was buried yester¬ 
day.”— Credit Lost, 
‘‘ I BAY',” inquired the lady-bug ; •* why 
don’t you dress in the prevailing colors ? ’ 
‘‘ Bah ! ” answered the potato-bug ; ‘‘lav¬ 
ender doesn’t go with my complexion, 
and these Paris greens simply make me 
sick.”— Puck. 
Aftfir Deacon Smithers had finished 
his call on the pastor, the latter’s little 
daughter said : “ Papa, didn’t the Deacon 
say he didn’t believe in Santa Claus?” 
‘‘That’s what he said, love.” ‘‘Then, 
papa, won't we have to try him for 
heresy ? "—Puck. 
‘‘No, sir; no, sir; the country will 
never stand an income tax. I wouldn’t, 
and you wouldn’t.” ‘‘Yes, I would. It’s 
the fairest—” ‘‘You would, eh ? Just 
as soon as not have a man ask you what 
your income is? What is your income, 
then?” ‘‘Now, see here, Smith; my income 
is none of your confounded business, and 
I’ll thank you to attend to your own 
affairs.”—AYiff York Recorder. 
STANDS AT THE HEAD. 
Our Competitors had the P'ield when we entered it. This year 
we have put in MORE NEW PLANTS in the Yer- 
|v MONT District, including VERMONT AND NEW 
HAMPSHIRE, than All of our Competitors 
Combined. The largest creamery in the country is 
ill '-t/' ^ located in this district. It is furnished with competitors’ 
ml ‘S machines, and they had it to refer to and to take 
/Ji! ^ T prospective purchasers to visit, but said prospective 
purchasers, after thorough investigation and tests, 
--/m ' ■ selected the 
... U. S. SEPARATORS. 
This must be convincing to every thoughtful person 
that the U. S. SEPARATOR has 
MERITS SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHERS. 
If you are contemplating purchasing CREAM SEPARATORS please give us an 
opportunity to prove to you all we claim. You CANNOT AFFORD to use any other 
than the U. S. SEPARATOR when you consult your best interests. Also remember 
it was awarded Medal and Diploma of Highest Merit at World’s Fair, Chicago.
